<DIV>Dear all, <BR><BR>As many of you will be aware, this April, at least 8
community nurseries in Hackney were informed of immediate cuts ranging from
£30,000 - £50,000 for each nursery. These cuts were implemented without
consultation or a fair and open process. They mean a serious threat of nursery
closures. <BR><BR>We need as many nursery staff, parents and community members
to get involved in the campaign against the cuts and to help campaign for
quality affordable childcare for all!<BR>We are organising a Fun Day to help
promote the campaign on Sunday 30 May 11-2pm London Fields and have launched a
petition - if you have not yet signed it please do at: <BR><A

next Friends of Hackney Nurseries campaign meeting will be on this Thursday May
20 at 6pm Bath House Community Nurseries 76 Shacklewell Lane E8 2EY.
<BR><BR>Stay tuned with campaign details via our blog: <A
